Actor Ad-libs
In Girl Friday
Ralph Bellamy In Comedy
Hit is Best Ad-libber
In Hollywood
One theatrical tradition Ralph
Bellamy feels should never be
discouraged is the time-honored
practice of ad-libbing. Some un
expected behlnd-the-footlights bits
of impromptu dialogue have
achieved immortality; they are
recalled and praised wherever
actors congregate. Motion pic
ture ad-libbing la less readily
recognizable and . less readily
recalled.
But Bellamy, a quick-witted
actor nurtured in the theatrical
tradition, has several times im
proved motion picture scenes by
the interjection of a bit of dia
logue or action which, seemingly
natural and proper, waa none
theless unexpected to lis fellow-
players and the technical crew.
Two such Incidents occurred
during the filming of Columbia's
Hawks production at the Grfand
theatre with Cary Grant and
Rosalind Russell starred. One
scene called for Bellamy to es
cort Miss Rnssell to a newspaper
office. Pausing In the anteroom.
he remarks "I'll wait for you
here."
All went well up to the time
Bellamy had finished speaking
his lines, when, in baeking toward
a bencn. n stumbled over a
carpet. Before Hawks could call
"Cut!" Bellamy covered with the
remark, "If I can stay on my
feet." It not only stepped tip
the scene, bat delighted Hawks,
an advocate of strict naturalness
la dialogue and action.
During another scene. Bellamy
was speaking to Cary Grant when
suddenly he sneezed. "Caught
cold." Bellamy ad-libbed. "I knew
I shouldn't wear rubbers in this
heat." The cameraman, taking his
cue. panned the camera down to
Bellamy s feet, encased in old
fashioned rubbers.
Bellamy portrays an insurance
salesman in "His Girl Friday.'

mony with Miss Russell per
formed as quickly as possible
and Grant, her awashbucking ex
husband, is just as anxious to
postpone the wedding.

In Lady Fisticuffs
The fiercest feminine first-fight
ever brought to the screen has
Marlene Dietrich and Una Merkel

"Destry Rides Again," now at the
Elsinore theatre.
Real Rongh-house
James Stewart, who co-stars
with Miss Dietrich In the spectac
ular frontier picture, also is em
broiled in the fight and he emerg
ed from it with a black eye as
proof that the fist-throwing 'was
real.
Both Miss Dietrich: and Miss
Merkel likewise received cuts and
bruises during the five days the
conflict took to f Urn. They pulled
hair, slapped faces, wrestled
around the floor "and wound up
with a drenching when Stewart
poured buckets of water on them
in an attempt to separate the em
battled pair. The fight then con
tinued with Marlene throwing
glassware and other handy ob
jects at Stewart.

against his eye and for days there
after he nursed a discolored orb.
The battlers agreed their efforts
were worth it. The result is rated

Besides these three stars, "Des
